Xu Chen, who usually lives in a single dormitory, returned home on the weekend and found his aunt there.

"I heard you're very busy," Zhang Hongqin said with a smile, "You don't have a day off on Sundays?" ”

"It was really busy some time ago, but now it's much better, isn't this a break?" Xu Chen replied.

"Oh? So your gearbox project is over? It was his father Xu Chengyan who asked the question.

"The research institute is almost done, anyway, the work in my hands is done, and I have passed the review......"

"I didn't expect Tao Tang to really dare to start in Hongxing" Zhang Hongqin changed the topic, "Just one Luo Chong doesn't seem to be over, right?" ”

"He's a little technician who knows a fart," Mr. Xu said.

"Why didn't I know? Not to mention Director Yang who ran away, wasn't an assistant to the general manager of our factory also arrested? Xu Chen was very dissatisfied with his father who had always treated him as an ignorant doll.

"Haha, Xiao Chen, your Red Star Factory has been in a mess recently, right?" Zhang Hongqin interjected.

"You're wrong," Xu Chen said, "At least everything is normal in our institute." The institute is cheering for the company to dig up the big moths, and everyone is high-spirited. By the way, I met our big boss two days ago."

"Look at your unpromising appearance, what can you do when you see Tao Tang?" Zhang Hongqin said with a smile, "Do people know who you are this little radish head?" ”

"Mr. Tao talked to me for a while" Xu Chen couldn't help but tell the story of Meng Fan's new house that day, and finally said, "Our team leader said that he has confidence in Mr. Tao, and so do I." I believe that our Red Star Factory will regain its glory, and it will definitely be stronger than your East Lake in the future."

"Hey. You've only been in Red Star for a few days? Open your mouth and shut up our Red Star, as if you are a child of Red Star......" Zhang Hongqin said.

"I forgot, second aunt, you are the child of Red Star. Do you know Mr. Tao? It seems that you are about the same age," Xu Chen said.

"I don't know ......" Zhang Hongqin lied to her face.

"Don't say it. This surname Tao is not simple......" Xu Chengyan said, "Even Tang Dong admires it...... Xiao Chen, what should you do, I have to discuss something serious with your aunt."

After Xu Chen left, Zhang Hongqin asked her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, have you finally made up your mind?" ”

"Actually, I don't have a choice...... Do I have a choice, you say? ”

"I really didn't have a choice. Of course, you know what Tang Yikun's purpose is for appointing you. Even if you are on Tang Yikun's side this time. I'm afraid that Old Tang won't really trust you," Zhang Hongqin was happy for her brother-in-law's decision. Before, my brother-in-law, who was also a high-ranking person in East Lake, was caught in the middle and helpless, not knowing what to do.

"That's it," Mr. Xu said. "Recently, I have been thinking about Red Star, and I always felt that private enterprises have more advantages than state-owned enterprises in the system, but now I have found that the power structure of private enterprises is far less stable than that of state-owned enterprises. Once internal friction occurs. The consequences are unimaginable......"

"Don't talk about those useless ......" Zhang Hongqin knew that Xu Chengyan was very angry, and he seemed pedantic and ridiculous many times, "You say, is Wei Shegang worthy of your trust?" Tang Yikun gave it to you, can he give it? ”

"I worked as a deputy for Wei Shegang, and the salary was no lower than that of going to the headquarters...... The East Lake headquarters is actually a virtual shelf, you know. Wei Shegang told me about the treatment, and said that he was responsible for making up for the missing part. It's a promise. He didn't really want much, just for me to produce a report that was good for the mining industry. I've been in the mining industry for decades, and even if he doesn't talk about it, I'll be biased towards the mining ......."

"Brother-in-law, don't underestimate Tang Yikun! The reason why he transferred you to the headquarters is that you can theoretically achieve the results he wants. Tang Yikun is reluctant to do any kind of splitting...... You have to figure this out...... He is now completely on the opposite side of Tang Laosan and Wei Shegang, and it is by no means as simple as writing a report! ”

"I know. This is also the main reason why I am reluctant to let Xiao Chen come to East Lake. It's good to have some technology in a state-owned enterprise......" Xu Chengyan let out a long sigh.

"It's a life-and-death struggle this time...... Zhang Hongqin lowered her voice, "Some time ago, a classmate of mine who was engaged in online writing set his sights on Tang Yikun and was going to write an online novel based on Tang Yikun, knowing that I was messing around in Donghu, pestering me to provide material about Tang Yikun, and I gave him some irrelevant ......"

"What do you mean?" Xu Chengyan didn't understand what his sister-in-law meant.

"Brother-in-law, listen to me. This classmate of mine is a bit interesting, he turned out to be an officer of the Red Star Propaganda Department, resigned, and became an Internet writer, and has completed two books. I don't know when he became interested in East Lake, especially Tang Yikun. Oh, he and Tang Yikun are also classmates. Interestingly, this guy actually suspected the source of the first pot of gold in East Lake, and he looked a little inquisitive...... You say, if I give him some materials, wait for his book to be published and put on the Internet, and I will find some way to do some publicity for him, will it have an effect on Wei Shegang's starting point? ”

Things are different now. When Zhang Hongqin reunited with Lu Qi some time ago, she talked about Sun Dunquan's "writing", and made it clear that it was inappropriate for Sun Dunquan to write about the development history of East Lake at a time when the internal struggle in East Lake was fierce. But now the situation has changed, and Wei She has just joined the war, forcing Zhang Hongqin's family to choose sides. The reason why Zhang Hongqin gave up the so-called iron rice bowl and went to East Lake was not because she was a classmate of Tang Yikun, but because her brother-in-law Xu Chengyan was one of the founding fathers of East Lake Mining. She reunited with Sun Dunquan unexpectedly, and deliberately concealed everything she had in East Lake, in fact, she knew many secrets of the beginning of East Lake's business, but she did not reveal it to Sun Dunquan, nor did she reveal it to Lu Qi. However, even the things she told Sun Dunquan that she thought were insignificant helped Sun Dunquan a lot, allowing Sun Dunquan to see Tang Yikun's admirable side.

Now, in order to help Wei Shegang win, Zhang Hongqin made a cold move.

"This method is too out-of-the-way, isn't it? I can't take care of anything" Listening to his sister-in-law's tricks, Xu Chengyan shook his head.

"Don't underestimate the power of the Internet...... Zhang Hongqin understands the lethality of public opinion on a celebrity better than some old-fashioned Xu Chengyan, "I read some of the drafts he wrote, the writing is good, the story is very moving, if you deliberately incite it, Pingquan people will be interested in the article"

"I mean it doesn't matter...... That's not the decisive force" Xu Chengyan did not object to Zhang Hongqin's move, he was not optimistic about its effect.

"You can agree," Zhang Hongqin said, "However, you must not underestimate Tang Yikun's ability." That guy is amazing, and besides, Donald may not be on your side."

"I know ...... this"

After Zhang Hongqin left, Xu Chengyan sorted out the recent situation in East Lake alone, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

It is true that Donghu Industry has encountered operational difficulties, but Xu Chengyan believes that this is not a big problem. Looking over the history of the development of East Lake, the situation is more serious than it is now. That's right, in addition to the hodgepodge of East Lake machinery problems, coal appeared unsalable, resulting in a sharp decline in the performance of mining companies, and since the end of last year, Pingquan's housing prices have stopped rising for several consecutive years, and finished houses have begun to be unsalable, which has worsened the business situation of East Lake Real Estate Company, the pillar of East Lake Group. In June, the senior management convened a series of meetings to study countermeasures, and the decision-makers were more consistent in their judgment of the situation, believing that as far as the business scope of East Lake is concerned, it will experience a "cold wave period", and the more concentrated opinion is to shrink the front at the same time in the three major sectors, and cut projects and expenses.

But the big boss Tang Yikun did not agree with this countermeasure. Whether it is a shrinking front or cutting projects, it will inevitably lead to the shrinkage of the scale of Donghu Industrial, which will inevitably bring a series of problems, such as a debt crisis and a layoff crisis, and the government may not support the group's strategy. Tang Yikun believes that even if, as you say, the economy will enter a downward channel, or an economic crisis, so what? The crisis is fair to everyone, we are uncomfortable, and competitors are comfortable? What is the crisis? It is a combination of danger and opportunity. In my opinion, not only should we not shrink, but we should also strive to expand. Of course, expansion is not all-encompassing, and the focus should be determined to ensure the effect......

Mr. Xu attended the top-secret in-house seminar, even though he was not a board member. Tang Yikun said to determine the key point, Xu Chengyan fully understands, is to concentrate resources on the East Lake real estate managed by Qi Zhen. Sure enough, Wei Shegang, who rarely openly opposed Tang Yikun at the meeting, took the lead in questioning it, and the focus of what the chairman said was the construction of Pingquan New Town, right? I have no objection to our active participation in the construction of Pingquan New Town, but I am opposed to the group's attempt to "guide" the government's decision-making, nothing else, the risk is too great. Rather than investing huge sums of money in a project that hasn't been formally approved yet, it's better to look at the moment. Many of the companies under East Lake Machinery have bright prospects and should be supported. Donghu Mining is the foundation of the group, and it must not be abandoned because of the temporary difficulties of the mining industry. In short, I agree with the principle of patience put forward by the majority, because the macroeconomy has its own laws of operation, and we must respect the objective laws when we have reached this point.

Xu Chengyan understood what Wei Shegang meant by "guiding" government decision-making. This is also the secret of Tang Yikun's repeated attempts in the real estate market, after figuring out the basic ideas of the main local decision-makers on urban construction, East Lake always "induces" the government's planning to provide strong positive support for the government's decision-making. Without exception, its investment is recouped in the "right" decision-making, and not only that, but it also brings huge profits to East Lake. A "win-win" situation that everyone is happy to see...... However, the income of East Lake Real Estate under normal investment projects is much lower! For example, the Emerald Garden real estate, which has invested heavily in high hopes, has been deliberately advertised as the most high-end and humanistic real estate in Pingquan City......

Sure enough, Tang Yiwei, president of East Lake Machinery, immediately agreed with Wei Shegang's speech. Of course, he hopes that the group will pay attention to East Lake Machinery, rather than the previously determined sell-off policy......

Xu Chengyan noticed that Tang Yikun's face was very unsightly at that time. He knew that the root cause of Wei Shegang's opposition was not the macroeconomic situation, but the family infighting that gradually surfaced. Thinking of this, Xu Chengyan shuddered. (To be continued.) )
